Boots: Out of the Bag

6 Weird Things

2006-12-19T20:54:00.000-05:00

Okay, so I've been tagged by Jasper. I have to come up with 6 things that are weird about me. I honestly don't know if I can come up with 6 things. I mean, I'm about as normal as a cat can be. =^!^=

Anyway, here goes my best shot:

My favorite place to sleep is an uncushioned metal wire "in-box."

I'm a pacifist. I don't like to get in fights, and I'll let smaller cats swat and hiss at me.

I like plain, nonfat yogurt and hummus (not together, though).

I occasionally *ahem* "forget" that I've been neutered when a certain little female feline hottie comes around, if you know what I mean. ;)

I only want to drink water from a ceramic or glass cup placed on the counter in the bathroom, or water actually dripping from a faucet. I refuse to drink the water Mom puts in the second compartment of my dry food dish.

I can tell time, and I HAVE to have my canned food at 6:00 PM on the DOT in the winter, and 7:00 PM during DST.

Okay, now I tag Hoshi, Budda, and Walden (hey, dogs can play, too, right?).

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It's almost Christmas. I LOVE Christmas!!!

I mean, what's NOT to love? Trees, ornaments, gift bags, wrapped presents, and RIBBONS. I L-O-V-E ribbons. I love to help with the whole wrapping deal, but ribbons are my absolute fave.

For some reason, Mom and Dad haven't done any decorating yet this year. I'm a little bummed about that, 'cuz I LOVE to help decorate for Christmas, especially the tree. Here's some pics of me helping Mom, from my FIRST Christmas.

Where's that cord?

I think this one should go just a little...

...Oops!

Okay, found it! It should go here. Yeah, right there.
That's good. That's the ticket. Hmm. What's this?

I LOVE these ornaments! So glittery and shiny!
So shiny. Watch it go back and forth...

...Back and forth... so shiny... back and forth...
Why are my eyelids getting so heavy?

Time for a coffee break.

What? Already done?

Ooooh. Ahhhhh.
Seriously, not too bad for a darn fiber
optic tree with non-breakable ornaments!

A People Person Cat

I love people. When the doorbell rings, I run to see who's there. I don't care whether it's the UPS guy, a kid selling magazines, or the Papa John delivery person.

I love everyone.

That's probably one reason I love Christmas so much. People, people everywhere, and they all are happy to see ME!

My Meena and DadDad came to see me at Thanksgiving, and my Grandmama just left today. I'm a little sad everyone's gone, but I know that probably tomorrow, someone else will come for a visit. To see ME.

I don't just THINK this. I KNOW it. I know it because the other night, I watched Mom order a dress from Coldwater Creek. It should be arriving any day now. And someone—either from UPS or FedEx—has to deliver it.

A Little More About Me

I know you're probably wondering all about me. Chances are, you took one look at my handsome face, and had to check out my Blogger profile, so you know I'm an environmental engineer.

This career choice was a total no-brainer. I come by my skills quite naturally, as can be seen in the following photos, which show me at work during my stint as Technical and Logistical Director of R and Designer Girl's recent move from Atlanta
to South Florida.

Ahhhh... the satisfaction of a job well done

My name is Boots,

And, I'm one tuff kitty.

I'm lazy and phat,

But I'm also very pretty.

I like to rat

And I like to rap,

But most of all,

I like to nap.

My peeps are RJ

And cute Lil' Pam,

They think I'm da bomb,

And that's right—I am!

I got your back;

You'll see me around,

'Cuz it won't be long

'Til I own this town.
